[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 423548, member: 1991"] When a family member dies suddenly, you get ambushed by grief. But when the death is expected and impending you begin to grieve early. My father was declining for several years, his death was expected. I was sad of course, but coped. However, it was a few years later when I had a dream about him. I got up and wrote it all down - it was a family gathering (possibly a wedding) and my father was there in the crowd. I went over to speak to him. In the dream he told me he had only turned up to talk to me about difficult child 3, to assure me that he would turn out alright, I was doing a good job. Now, he actually never knew difficult child 3 but the dream somehow assured me that he was looking after us all. I still cannot read what I wrote, without sobbing. Grief is a funny thing. Odd thing, then. Steely, just go with the flow. Marg [/QUOTE]
